GrubStreet just posted the photos I made of its annual Muse & the Marketplace writers conference a few weeks ago. Check 'em out below!

Amanda Palmer and James Wood were featured speakers this year.

Info from Grub Street:

The Muse and the Marketplace is a three-day literary conference designed to give aspiring writers a better understanding about the craft of writing fiction and non-fiction, inside information about the world of publishing, and thoughtful networking opportunities. On all three days, prominent and nationally-recognized established and emerging authors lead sessions on the craft of writing—the "muse" side of things—while editors, literary agents, and publicists lead sessions on the business side—the "marketplace."

Grub Street also offers the Manuscript Mart, at which, for an additional fee, an attendee can meet one-on-one with an established literary agent or editor who has read his or her work in advance and provides direct feedback. Many conferences offer pitch sessions, but The Muse and the Marketplace is one of the few conferences where your actual pages will be discussed and thoughtfully evaluated by an agent or editor.
